Anyone use Green Oval Garage?

I have just received an email from The Green Oval Garage which shows me 348 email addresses in their customer database email list.

Anyone else get this email from Brian Hoult?

Also, for the second time in a row Paddocks have sent me an order with parts misssing, not anything major, but still tiresome when I was planning a job for the week-end.

So my question is, who would you recommend as good and reliable parts suppliers, preferrably who don't stock Britpart stuff or at least give alternatives to Britpart?

Ive been using brookwell in plymouth/Portsmouth/devon?

Good delivery times and not too expensive. If i need something that day then its craddocks for me as its up the road.

Sucks when the fudge up an order!

Thanks Big Yin, I'll have a looksee at their site. I can get stuff wholesale from Dingbro (a Scottish company) but they don't have any online catalogue I can search, but there is the advantage that they will deliver to my work free of charge as work has an account, and, they don't deal with Britpart either!

Last few orders I've dealt with both

Island 4x4 - Specialists in Land Rover and Range Rover Parts and accessories for all models. UK and worldwide mail order. - Island 4x4 - Specialists in Land Rover and Range Rover Parts and accessories for all models. UK and worldwide mail order.

and

Land Rover Spares and Parts Direct

found them both to very reliable and deliver within 24hrs to Scotland and also give choices to which manufacturer you want.

Thanks Biggggeee I'll browse both also.

LRDirect every time for me

Usually have 2 or 3 brands, decent postage, quick, not let me down yet and the one item where they're supplier messed about they upgraded to LR Genuine for free.

Have used most of the known names at some time, an now loyal to Paul and the team at LRDIRECT - oh, they answer the phone as well

Looks like it will be LRDirect from now as I found their site to be easily navigated and well laid out, plus a couple of good recommendations.

Thanks everyone for your responses, but keep them coming as other may find these recommendations useful too.

Very helpful guys, but they don't currently, have much stock of spares, so need to special order most older stuff series etc.

Good quick service with their suppliers though.
